Maureen was born in Boston, Massachusetts on Sept. 6, 1944. She graduated from Broward College and continued on to receive Certification as a Laboratory Clinical Technologist from Sheridan Vocational.

Maureen worked in her early years in research and development at Gillette. She continued that career path for several years in California.  She then began her medical laboratory work at Bioran in Cambridge, Mass. Later, moving to Florida, Maureen ventured into a successful decorative Painting business (Allie Cats) with her sister Annamarie. After 15 years, Maureen fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a certified laboratory technologist – retiring at 72 as a Senior Clinical Technologist. Maureen enjoyed traveling with family and friends. She visited many countries overseas and in the Caribbean and many states in the USA and providences in Canada. She was a free spirit who loved animals especially horses, cats and dogs. She was addicted to MSNBC – a true political junkie and an avid and proud democrat and anti-Trumper.

Maureen is survived by siblings Karen Griffin of Weymouth, MA, Peter Kinch of Norwell, MA, Annamarie Kinch of Davie, FL, brothers in law, Lee Griffin and Michael Palladino, nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand-nephews, other family and friends, and her beloved cats especially Daisy, Scout, and Lucy.

Maureen is preceded in death by her parents William and Anna Kinch, sister Eileen Palladino of Peabody, MA and brothers William and Charles Kinch of Tewksbury, MA.

Maureen will be remembered for her beautiful smile and blue eyes, her quick wit, her love, her generosity of spirit, and the pure joy she expressed in the many people and things that made her happy.
